Most remakes are bad ideas and demonstrations of hubris. The 2005 King Kong (and the dreadful one from the 80) are evidence of just that.

Remaking any Hitchcock — even worse. But Hollywood can't seem to resist.

“I am think about. Maybe I no do. But I tell-a you what ingenuity we plan and you tell me what you think. Kong-a lay dead, and — how you say — scientist come and take apart, and Kong come like Frunkensteen — you know Frunkensteen — and he come crazy bad. He kill everyone. And Dwan (Jessica Lange) is now a big-a time movie star and she say, ‘Hey, Kong, remember me?’ She jumps in his hand, he picks her up, put her to his face, smile and then . . . womp, he eat her. You like, Mary?”

— Dino de Laurentiis, interviewed by Mary Murphy.
